Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the chicken pieces with the flour and some salt and pepper, to coat them - it's easy to do this in a plastic food bag.
- Heat the oil in a casserole with a lid. Brown the chicken pieces well on all sides - you'll need to do this in batches. Remove all the pieces to a plate, and tip the onions, carrot, lardons, bay and thyme into the pan. Cook gently for 10 mins until the onion is softened.
- Return the chicken pieces, with any juices that have collected on the plate. Then pour in the red wine, 250ml water and tomato paste and crumble in the stock cube. Add a splash more of water if you need, until the chicken is almost covered. Bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and bake in the oven for 20 mins. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 mins while you make the dumplings.
- Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it feels like fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the herbs with ½ tsp salt and some pepper. Drizzle over 150ml water, and stir in quickly with a cutlery knife to form a light dough. Use floured hands to shape into ping pong sized balls.
- Place the dumplings on top of the stew and bake for 20 mins more until the dumplings are cooked through.

CHICKEN STEW WITH HERB DUMPLINGS
This recipe was created for Ready, Set, Cook! #9. Comfort food like you don't find much anymore. This recipe is a labour of love, but really worth it, and not as difficult as you might think - just make sure all your vegetables are prepped before you start and it'll come together in no time. The use of coconut milk is unusual, but really delicious. If you haven't tried fennel (the bulb), here's a chance to discover your new favorite veggie! Please note that the recipe is not as high in calories as the nutritional analysis would indicate. The chicken is used in the recipe (after poaching) skinned and the stock is defatted.------

Steps:
- To cook the chicken: Place the chicken, carrot, celery, onion, bay leaf, peppercorns and salt in a large pot. Add cold water until chicken is just covered and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a bare simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and let cool for 15 minutes. While the chicken is cooling, continue to boil the remaining water and vegetables in the pot. When the chicken has cooled enough to touch, strip away as much of the meat as you can. Return the chicken bones to the stockpot and continue to boil, on high heat, until the stock has reduced to approximately 3 cups. While the stock is reducing, cut up the chicken meat into pieces you'd like to see on the end of your fork. Strain stock through a sieve or colander. Press down on solids slightly to extract more stock. Discard solids (chicken bones and veggies). (the chicken and stock can be cooked up to a day ahead and kept refrigerated). Remove the layer of fat that forms on top of the stock after it has been refrigerated, and discard.
- Prepare the filling: In a large saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Add the onions, fennel, carrots, celery, mushrooms and garlic, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, one minute more. Add potatoes, peas, stock, coconut milk, oregano, thyme (or fines herbes) and nutmeg. Season to taste. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring often (you can make dumplings at this point). Stir in the chicken and 2 tblpss parsley.
- Prepare the dumplings: Mix flour, baking powder, salt, oregano and parsley in a medium bowl. Combine egg and milk and stir into dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork until a soft dough is formed.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dumpling dough on the surface of the chicken stew (you should get about 15 dumplings); cover and simmer until dumplings are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Do not peek - the steam is what cooks your dumplings through.
- Spoon portions of chicken, sauce, vegetables, and dumplings into soup plates and serve immediately.

SMOKED CHICKEN STEW WITH HERB DUMPLINGS
My mother often cooked this dish when my family camped out. If you have leftover cooked chicken, use that instead of the smoked chicken, though the smoky taste is great in this dish.
Yield serves 8 as a main course
Number Of Ingredients 22
Steps:
- Prepare a campfire or wood-fired grill for cooking with indirect heat.
- Bring the stock to a simmer in a large stockpot. Keep warm on the fire.
- Brown the bacon in a Dutch oven until lightly crisp. Remove the bacon and one-third of the fat. Add the leeks and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, celery root, and warm stock and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then add the smoked chicken, salt, tarragon, and thyme. Return to a simmer. Cover and cook at a low boil until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley, bacon, and cream. Add the white pepper and additional salt to taste.
- To make the dumplings, stir the flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Stir in the salt and herbs. Beat the milk, butter, and eggs together in a bowl. Stir into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the cheese.
- Place the dumplings by spoonfuls on the top of the stew, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the dumplings are plump but firm. Take the cover off for the last 5 minutes if a smokier flavor is desired from the fire.
- Serve in bowls with one or two dumplings per serving.
Tips:
- Select the Right Chicken: Choose a whole chicken or chicken parts that are fresh, plump, and have a slight pink tinge to the flesh.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. For softer vegetables like carrots and celery, cut them into smaller pieces, while root vegetables like potatoes can be cut into larger chunks.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the chicken and vegetables liberally. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of chicken.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage add a burst of flavor to the dish. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount of fresh herbs.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pot: Make sure there is enough space in the pot for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If necessary, cook in batches.
- Simmer Gently: Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently. This will help the chicken and vegetables cook through without becoming tough.
- Make the Dumplings: While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, make the dumplings according to the recipe. Drop the dumplings into the simmering broth and cook until they are fluffy and cooked through.
Conclusion:
This classic chicken with herb dumplings is a comforting and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its tender chicken, flavorful broth, and fluffy dumplings, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make chicken dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
